I'm trying to display contact information, and from another question on stackOverflow I've got the following snippet

String[] projection = new String[] {
        ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.DISPLAY_NAME,
        ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Email.DISPLAY_NAME
     };

    Uri contacts =  ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI;
    //id of the Contact to return.
    long id = 3;

    //Make the query. 
    Cursor managedCursor = managedQuery(contacts,
                                        projection, // Which columns to return 
                                        null,       // Which rows to return (all rows)
                // Selection arguments (with a given ID)
                                        ContactsContract.Contacts._ID = "id", 
                // Put the results in ascending order by name
                                        ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME + " ASC");

It seems that the managedQuery has been changed in 2.2 (I belive the original question where I got this was referenced to 2.0)

What has changed in 2.2? I can't find a way of displaying emails, phone numbers etc for a contact

EDIT : This is all I can find from the android debugging logs

I don't know what the Contacts.CONTENT_LOOKUP_URI does, but I use the RawContacts.CONTENT_URI.

So try Uri contacts = ContactsContract.RawContacts.CONTENT_URI or Uri contacts = ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI should also work.

And leave the selectionArgs (4th-argument) if you didn't specify a selection (3rd-argument), because they only make sence if a selection is given.
